Björnskfestivalen 15

Björnskfestivalen 15 will be the fifteenth edition of Björnskfestivalen, the music contest used to select the Björnsk entry for Maia Song Contest 15. On 30 December 2017, the theme was revealed as 'Welcome, Paloma!', where the public would be given an opportunity to send Paloma Faith to the Maia Song Contest with a song chosen by them. The songs would gradually be released via social media.

Format
On 25 December 2017, it was confirmed that Paloma Faith would represent the country in Maia Song Contest 15 - with her song being selected through a special edition of Björnskfestivalen titled 'Welcome, Paloma!'. The public will have the ultimate say in which entry be performed by Faith in the upcoming Maia Song Contest. All songs will be performed on one night, though it is not yet known whether or not international juries will be able to cast votes or give their verdict on the entries.

Entry selection
Paloma Faith was given full artistic responsibility over which entries she would perform on the evening, in collaboration with her record label. The competing entries will be gradually released through social media in the lead-up to the contest.

Presenters
Graham Norton was confirmed as the host on 30 December 2017, and despite initial rumours that Nick Grimshaw would join him, he will host the contest alone once again.

Final
On 30 December, the first two competing songs, namely "Crybaby" and "Guilty", were announced. The third and forth songs, "Changing" and "Just Be" were revealed on the following day. On 6 January, it was announced that "Agony" and "Leave While I'm Not Looking" would be the final two entries to compete in the selection. A jury selected three songs to progress to the televoting-only final.
